The Dragon Boat Festival is always fast. When Hu Ye finished eating noodles and answered the Unknown Mansion, it was already dark. Next, there would be a long life of classical Chinese. Hu Ye walked towards his room with heavy steps.

"Young Master, have you been fooling around in that kind of place?" Shortly after Hu Ye entered the door, Sa Ren followed him and smelled Hu Ye. He found some fragrance and asked Hu Ye.

"Sa Ren, don't talk nonsense. I went out with Brother Zhang to deliver rice dumplings to those refugees. I'm not going to fool around."

Hu Ye was right, how could he tell the truth to a simple child like Sa Ren?

"Young Master, just tell the truth. If you go out with Young Master Fu, you will definitely go to that kind of place to stroll around. Don't think we don't know."

Old Qian walked out slowly. He originally wanted to follow Hu Ye, but Zhang Fu kicked him back, so he was very dissatisfied and naturally he would not lie to Hu Ye.

"Old Qian, are you looking for death?" Hu Ye yelled.

"Young Master, don't go to such places in the future, it's not clean." Saren looked as if he was trying to persuade people to be kind, which made Hu Ye feel embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to go to bed. I'll go to the palace tomorrow. You guys should go to bed early too." Hu Ye fled in a panic.

"Uncle Qian, you have to watch the young master carefully. You can't let him go out and fool around. He is a person who wants to get fame and fortune. You can't do this." Saren said to Lao Qian.

Lao Qian felt very wronged. In fact, he wanted to go with him, but Zhang Fu didn't let him go. What puzzled him even more was that Sa Ren was just the young master's maid, so why did he take care of the young master so much? Could it be...

Lao Qian smiled evilly. Saren had already returned to his room, so he had to ask Lao Gao to have a drink. How could he not drink on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival?

...

The fields in Peking are getting drier and prices are getting higher and higher. Even though Zhu Di has opened a warehouse to provide disaster relief, there are more and more refugees coming to Beiping City, and the situation is not relieved at all.

The water storage of the two dams has begun to show its effect. Even though the fields in Peking are very dry, the millet inside have already grown. Zhu Di had to send troops to guard it, otherwise the hungry refugees would eat the unripe millet directly.

Zhu Di is now in a state of turmoil and hasn't come to the primary school to secretly check Yingxue. He must be busy discussing countermeasures with several surrounding vassal kings. I heard that the King Ning in the west was discussing with Zhu Di to see if he could borrow some food from Zhu Di.

The fief of King Ning was in the west of Beiping. There were basically grasslands there, and there was not much food at first, but in the severe drought, they basically had no food. He had written to Zhu Yuanzhang many times, but now the country's severe drought is too great to reach, so he could only mobilize the grain from Jiangnan to Shandong's two lakes. As for King Ning, King Yan and others in the north, they had to support themselves first.

King Ning and King Yan are good brothers, and Zhu Di didn't say anything. He lent King Ning 100,000 stones of grain first. It won't take long before the millet matures, and it should be able to harvest 100,000 stones. Zhu Di said that like King Ning, he was enfeoffed to such border areas. Not only did he fight against the invasion of the Mongols, but when facing such natural disasters, he could not get help from the court in time, so the two brothers could only support each other.

I heard that when King Ning left, he burst into tears and kept praising Zhu Di, his brother as competent. Hu Ye just smiled. Zhu Di was indeed scheming and was still scheming his brother at this time. I don’t know if he waited for two years, the three guards of Duoyan, the most elite under King Ning, became Zhu Di’s subordinates. At that time, how did King Ning view Zhu Di?

However, with that 100,000 stone of grain, King Ning should be able to survive for a while, and Zhu Di did help him a lot.

Hu Ye didn't care about the story between these two brothers, because it was already July, and in another month, he would set off to Nanjing.

Li Yangming felt that Hu Ye had learned very quickly and could read the Four Books through, but compared with the eight-legged essay, there was still a long way to go. It was basically impossible to master the skills of eight-legged essays in a month.

"Hu Ye, you have a strong learning ability, but the time is very short. Are you sure you will pass the exam this time?" After Li Yangming assigned the courses to the other students, he called Hu Ye out alone and asked solemnly.

"Master Li, I am just a half-baked student, and it is very difficult to learn these things. However, Qiu Jie has to be a lexicon, but the students are confused. It is extremely difficult to pass the imperial examination." Hu Ye answered truthfully.

In the past two months, Hu Ye has basically read the Four Books and probably understood the meaning. However, the eight-legged essay that many students have a headache about is indeed not something that Hu Ye, a future person, can learn thoroughly, and is still exploring hard. So Hu Ye feels that it is much more difficult to pass the exam in this autumn exam than the college entrance examination. He even made plans. As long as he doesn't have his own name on the day of the exam, he will definitely run away. He will not be Ruan An's apprentice.

"It seems that you are still self-aware. Many students may not be able to pass the imperial examination after studying hard for decades. It is indeed difficult for you to pass the imperial examination after half a year of study." Li Yangming stroked his beard and said slowly.

"The Master asked me to come out, it wasn't for the purpose of attacking me."

Hu Ye looked at Li Yangming curiously, and said that this old guy called him out, just to criticize him. Hu Ye felt that this old man was not so bored. He must have some skills to hand over to him.

"Do you know where to take the autumn examination?" Li Yangming did not answer Hu Ye's question, but asked Hu Ye back.

"I could have taken the exam in Peking, but the emperor insisted on asking me to go to Nanjing, so it should be at the governor's residence of Yingtian Prefecture." Hu Ye replied.

"Then do you know who the examiner is?" Li Yangming asked again.

"The local area should be the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the invigilator for the in

"You are only half right. The invigilance exam in various places is good, but the invigilance exam in Yingtianfu is not a Hanlinyuan Grand Secretary, but also the chief examiner of Yingtianfu." Li Yangming corrected Hu Ye's statement and asked, "Do you know who is the invigilance exam in Yingtianfu?"

Hu Ye shook his head very readily. Ti Xue is a major official, how could he remember the names of so many people?

"The Tixue of Yingtian Mansion is named Wang Wei. He who passed the Jinshi with me in his early years was my good friend. Now when Your Majesty was launching troops, he surrendered to Your Majesty and stayed in Yingtian Mansion as the Tixue, which was highly valued by Your Majesty. Therefore, every time the autumn examination in Yingtian Mansion is he is the chief examiner." Li Yangming said with a slightly profound smile.

"Master told me this, is it because I want me to give my preference?" Hu Ye's eyes lit up. The imperial examinations these days are no longer the imperial examinations in the Tang and Song dynasties. There are too many tricks in it, so how could a young man know about it?

"I had a close relationship with Wang Wei back then and knew him well. People all think that he was a flatterer. When Zhu Yuanzhang fought to Nanjing, he surrendered. Isn't that the case? He knows the nature of the current saints. If he didn't surrender with a group of scholars, Nanjing would probably be bloody. And he is not a person who is afraid of death, but he just wants to do a good job of studying."

"Is it because Master said that I would make me less cliché and more passionate words in the text?" Hu Ye asked curiously.

"The examiner plays a great role in the imperial examination. If your article makes the examiner feel uncomfortable reading, what if he is more literary?" Li Yangming smiled slightly, then turned around and said with Hu Ye on his back, "Okay, if you have all the words, whether you can win the examination depends on your strength. In the next time, you should study and copy the eight-legged essay."

"Teacher, the student has something unknown, so I would like to ask for advice from you." Looking at Li Yangming's old back, Hu Ye suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Li Yangming turned around.

"Why did Master help me?" Hu Ye asked a question he had been thinking about for a long time. Li Yangming had nothing to do with him. There was no reason to help me like this. Is there really a free lunch in the world?

"My grandson is a little slow and there is no hope for the future. As long as you become more prosperous in the future, you will support him more." Li Yangming said and walked into the school.

Hu Ye looked blankly. How could Li Yangming know that he would be prosperous? Li Tai can eat, drink and hug beautiful women. He didn't know that he was slow. Why did Li Yangming say this?

But it is a good thing for him in the end, and Hu Ye has no reason to refuse. As long as he can think more about Wang Wei's literary hobbies, the probability of winning the exam will be greatly increased.
